This will prevent the overall MCU timeout to expire on the first proxy
request if that takes too long. With the shorter proxy timeout, the other
proxy servers will be retried if the first request timed out.
The connections that have been sorted by load are also sorted by country
of publisher and continent of publisher, e.g. for worldwide proxies, the
ones closest to the publisher will be preferred.
No new publishers will be created by the proxy, existing publishers can
still be subscribed. After all clients have disconnected, the process
will terminate.
